‘It is written that the rivers will run red with the blood of the innocent, making man run with fear. From the North two lines will appear; the first – seventh time worthy and hailed by the King.

Detective Tony Dinozzo had no idea of what went bump in the night. To him, monsters were those humans who killed without reason, who deserved to be put behind bars. He had no idea that his junior partner, Timothy McGee, or his best friend, Abigail Sciuto, was part of the so called ‘walking dead’. Vampires were alive and kicking and he was about to find himself, not only to be the future mate of the next vampire king – Leroy Jethro Gibbs, but also in a race to save himself, the human race and his bondmate’s race from extinction. Between the European Vampires who wanted to annihilate the US Vampires and the Slayers who thought that humans should be on the top of the food chain, life for all, hung in the balance. They had one of two options – survive or be killed.
